Anybody else having problems getting their garmin satnavs `found` by garmins express service?
I,ve down loaded the express, plug in and usb drivers but now when my 660 is connected by usb the express software cant find 660 so no updates.
Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to sort it :dunce)
Have tried to contact Garmin but they`re permanently busy and now there seems to be a problem with their email system :banghead)

Looks like the problem was a corrupt sd card that i used all last year with absolute no problem, removed said card and everything worked, connected and updated.
But as a sidebit Garmins new map of Europe is now too large for the internal memory but you can update just certain areas and then do the rest later when reqd.
